A photograph of the CN Tower shot from inside the nearby Sky Walk. The day is somewhat overcast, but with a bright sunshine and blue skies coming through gaps in fluffy white clouds. The tower is lined up through the center of the image. The arched roof of the walkway is aligned so that the pattern of the glass panes radiate from the bottom right corner. The glass is tinted in a pattern of alternating clear and darkly tinted pairs of rectangular panes. Each set is followed by an entirely clear row. The arched trusses with their diagonal struts align with the clear sections making it look like they could be triangular panes. There are various streaks and deposits of looks to be rust running down from the metal framework following a long, snowy winter. The sun and an industrial hanging light are mirroring each other on either side of the tower following the diagonal lines of symmetry. The sun is partially obscured by clouds, but more importantly it is directly behind one of the panels with dark tint which is acting as a filter. Where the other tinted sections look nearly black, the panels backed by the sun have a marble like quality with a mix of navy, gold, and white tones.

CN Tower via the Sky Walk's roof. Alternating layers of dark and light window tint make for a graphic #pattern, but the #symmetry between the sun and the hanging lamp was what really caught my eye.

A photo looking down over the darkened empty pool at Victoria Baths Manchester. In front, suspended from the ceiling is an enormous illuminated sun (Helios) by the artist Luke Jerram. Above is a long sky light that runs the whole length of the pool. There are two levels of balconies surrounding the poolside. On the floor of the pool several people are sat on chairs and a couple of children are walking around. They are lit by the golden glow of the sun above I used my Samsung phone and just cropped with Snapseed

25 Frames later...never thought I'd be setting up a makeshift studio for an onion shoot but here we are. Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with Canon 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L lens 1/200sec @f11 ISO1250 Focal Length 400mm Tried a variety of f-stops starting at the high end and working down towards a wider aperture. Also started with a lower ISO but shutter speed became a problem due to camera shake from the heavy lens. So, adjusted ISO and f-stop to increase shutter speed (I predominately shoot in Aperture Dependent mode). Using the telephoto lens allowed me to be a distance (approximately 10 feet in this case) from the subject and still narrow in on the subject with decent focus and clarity.

A wintry landscape featuring a dense grove of tall, bare trees perfectly reflected in the dark, still water of a pond. The vertical lines of the trunks create a striking rhythmic pattern against the water, with a small park bench and two distant figures adding a sense of scale and quiet solitude. I didn't use Snapseed in this photo. I liked it the way it is. Google Pixel 9a f/1,7 - 4,53mm - ISO30

View of kitchen taken in reflective backsplash over cooker. Reflections through to utility room adds layers

Just took this for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekLforLayers #AlphabetTechPhoto I think it qualifies as there’s a certain symmetry and layering because of the reflections. Even if it doesn’t meet the spec I like it - just ignore the crumbs on the hob 😂 #ClassicMono

A monochrome, symmetrical photograph looking directly up the center of a metal staircase at Platform 2, Dumfries railway station. The composition creates a repeating pattern of horizontal white-edged steps that recede upward, layered between the vertical and diagonal lines of the metal railings. The high-contrast edit emphasizes the rhythmic, geometric "layers" of the architecture. Captured on a Google Pixel 8a (f/1.9, 1/25, 5.43mm, ISO 230) and edited in Lightroom Mobile to accentuate the deep blacks and bright highlights.

This week's #AlphabetTechPhoto is Symmetry/Patterns! 📸

​Focus on geometry for the #AlphabetChallenge prompt: #WeekLforLayers. 📚

​Think reflections, patterned staircases, or transparent materials. Let’s see that depth and precision!

A black and white macro image of an antique cast iron Salter No 49 Household Scale against a velvet background. The face of the scale is visible from 0 to the top of the 8 and 19 to 20. The dial weathered dial face is covered in age related spots. The hand points to the 4 despite nothing being on the scale. Text on above the hand reads "Household Scale" and "No 49". Text below the hand reads "British Made" and "To weigh 20lb". The metal surrounding the dial is an ornate, darkly painted cast iron with some bright metallic accent highlights added.

Couldn't decide between B&W and colour.

The preferred shot according to my in-house critic. Captured this near the end of a 1.5 hour drive in search of things that are kaput. To be honest, there is no shortage of kaput things out there! I used cropping here to highlight the kaputness of the barn cladding. Lightroom helped restore the image as it was somewhat washed out given the dull light of the day.

After watching and reading the materials the Colin shared last week it was nice to learn that filling the frame can be done in a number of ways. Even though this isn't a closeup the subject still dominates the frame. This was my choice for the week...my in-house critic liked another shot more so will be posting two this week. Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with 100-400mm f4.5 lens 1/2000 sec @ f10 and ISO400 - 300mm focal length

Close-up macro of a white Lily's interior, showing delicate curved stamens with golden pollen-covered anthers and a central pale pistil. Soft green and white tones blur into the background, creating a calm, minimal atmosphere. Google Pixel 9a f/1,7 . 4,53 mm . ISO70 I used Snapseed edits. Softened the edges for a dreamy look and added a white vignette. I then cranked up the structure to emphasize the grit in the yellow pollen.

Very close up overexposed selfie

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekKforKaput
We all joked about doing it so…. broken, useless, and not functioning properly it is 😂 I wasn’t brave enough to post it without the overexposure as you could see all the wrinkles, pores, and eyebags 😱 But it was an easy way to #FillTheFrame for #AlphabetTechPhoto 😁

A detailed black and white high-contrast close-up shot of scattered sharp shards of clear broken glass resting on a dark black surface. The complex textures, jagged edges, and intricate internal reflections of the multiple glass fragments are sharply defined by a focused light source. Smaller slivers are in the background, while larger, more substantial pieces with prominent fractures are in the foreground and centre. The overall mood is dramatic and fragmented. Shot with a Lumix GX9 using a Panasonic Leica 12-35mm lens at a focal length of 35mm (70mm 35mm equivalent). Settings: f/8, 1/160 sec, ISO 200, illuminated by a Godox iT30 Pro flash.
